"Obviously you are the mechanic, why am I the one doing the work?"
The next morning, in front of the warehouse in Fangfeng Square.
Looking at Lin Jie sitting not far away, typing on the computer, Curly Hair, who had been tinkering with the mecha for an hour, couldn't help but complain.
The temperature outside the Death Star is higher, and repairing mechas is a strenuous job. Even though Curly Hair's physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, his arms are also feeling faintly sore at this time.
"Do you understand the intelligent core algorithm?" Lin Jie looked at Curly Hair.
"I do not know."
"Oh." Lin Jie nodded and said, "Do you understand the energy replacement of energy weapons?"
"I don't understand either."
"So, you don't know anything, what else can you do if you don't do physical work?"
"..."
I was speechless... Curly glanced at Lin Jie speechlessly, climbed up the ladder, and leaned his upper body into the cockpit of the mecha to continue working.
Lin Jie saw all this, smiled secretly, lowered his head and continued his work.
Simon was very efficient, and the computer Lin Jie needed was delivered before dawn. Because Lin Jie wanted to repair the intelligent core and modify the firearms, both of which required a lot of work. He could only tell Curly everything that needed to be replaced and maintained, and let Curly, the pilot, do it himself, and he started repairing it first. Intelligent core.
After all, this thing is the foundation for the operation of the mecha. Without it, everything is empty talk...
The blue star hung in the sky, and the two people just worked hard in the compound blocked by high alloy walls. Simon knew nothing about machinery and mechas, so he couldn't help much. He could only keep sending some food and Drinks.
But as a talkative person, Curly Hair was not gagged by food and drinks.
At the hottest time at noon, all the prisoners who had been released returned to their cells. Curly Hair, who had taken a short break, approached Lin Jie again and said, "Lin Jie, how much do you think this intelligent core can help me participate in the Capture the Flag Battle?" ?Compared with other mechas, what advantages can it bring to me?"
"Aren't you a brigadier general-level pilot?" Lin Jie glanced at Curly Hair suspiciously: "Most vanguard-level mechas are equipped with intelligent cores. You, a senior pilot, don't know the advantages of intelligent cores?"
"You also said, it's most, not all." Curly scratched his head and said: "This thing is too expensive. My own mecha is not equipped with it. I have only occasionally driven other pioneer-class robots equipped with intelligence a few times. Mecha, but I don’t use intelligent assistance much, so I don’t know much about it.”
"I forgot about this..." Lin Jie glanced at Curly Hair and nodded slightly.
The curly hair situation is also the portrayal of most pilots.
Although this profession is rare and earns a lot of money, the value of mechas actually exceeds the rewards they can get.
The vast majority of pilots, especially low-level pilots, do not have mechas in their names. The mechas they usually drive in combat are generally provided by the organizations they work for.
To put it bluntly, most low-level pilots are just high-paid wage earners.
If they don't buy a mecha, their income can ensure that they have food and clothing, and live a prosperous life. But if they buy a mecha of their own, it is equivalent to marrying a wife, giving them a betrothal gift, taking on a house loan, a car loan, and repaying their salary. You have to hand it in, and then you have to worry about the child's expenses.
The originally generous salary suddenly seemed insignificant.
"The most significant advantages of the intelligent core are probably three points. One is to monitor the status of the mecha in real time and feedback it to the pilot, so that the pilot can devote himself to the battle. The second..."
Lin Jie paused for a moment, picked up the cold drink brought by Simon and took a sip before returning his attention to the computer. While working, he said: "The second is computing power. Although pioneer-level intelligence is slightly inferior in on-the-spot combat, It's stupid, but intelligence is intelligence after all, and its computing power is always better than the human brain... at least better than your brain."
Why do I feel like you are scolding me... Curly Hair pinched his eyes and glanced at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie didn't look at him at all, but continued to operate the computer: "If the mecha has the corresponding configuration, it can calculate the wind force, air humidity, planet gravity, etc. Even if it is not good enough, it can also help the pilot with aiming assistance. .
The third point, and the most important point, is that the intelligent core allows the mecha to have the ability to fight independently, that is, to fight without a driver. Although it has certain limitations, it does liberate the pilot. Increased tactical diversity.
Take this Mammoth as an example. According to the data you gave me, Mammoth ranks in the middle and lower reaches at most among the twenty mechas. Simon’s luck is obviously very bad..."
"How dare you say that to the boss?"
"He is your boss, not my boss. Even if he is here, I dare to say that." Lin Jie curled his lips indifferently.
There is also a gap between the rank of private and private.
Some are military mechas, some are competition mechas, and some are household mechas.
As for household mechas, they are more simplified versions specially manufactured by machinery companies in order to satisfy ordinary people's longing for mechas. There is a clear gap between them and military mechas and competition mechas in all aspects.
Mammoth is a household mecha to some extent.
Among the more than 20 mechas prepared by Jenna, Mammoth was completely at the bottom. In Lin Jie's opinion, if Curly's level was not higher than other pilots and the mechanical synchronization rate was also high, Mammoth would not have been able to win the two championships. Flag battle, there’s nothing wrong with saying Simon has stinky hands.
"Continue talking about this mecha." Lin Jie pointed at the Mammoth without raising his head and said: "Its tonnage, armor thickness, and firepower configuration are not as good as those of military mechas, and its output energy level and maximum torque are not as good as those of competition mechas. , if it is not flexible enough, it can be said to be basically useless, and it will definitely be very passive when fighting with other mechas of the same level... You should be aware of this."
"Although I really don't want to agree with you, you are right." Curly's face turned bitter, as if he had recalled some bad memories.
"It will be different after the intelligent core is installed. With the intelligent core, the mecha will have the ability to fight independently. You can be liberated for a period of time, and you can also do more things by yourself and the mecha, thus changing War situation.”
"for example?"
"For example, let the mecha pin down the enemy mecha head-on, while you rush out of the cockpit and unplug the opponent's battery."
"Are you basically asking me to die?"
Curly looked at Lin Jie, with the words 'I can't understand' written all over his face.
The strategy proposed by Lin Jie is indeed feasible. As a pilot, Curly Hair has also seen other pilots hand over control to intelligence and leave the field mecha to defeat the opponent.
But there is a premise for all this - the assistance of individual mechas.
Only when armed with individual mechas, the pilot's strength, speed, and protection will be greatly improved, and he will gain abilities comparable to those of a warrior.
However, in the capture-the-flag battle on Death Island, only field mechas are allowed to participate, and pilots do not have the right to additionally arm individual mechas.
In this situation, without the protection of the cockpit, the Pilot would be just an ordinary person with agility and excellent physical fitness.
With the tonnage of field mechas often weighing tens of tons, they would be useless if they even scratched the surface.
"It is indeed risky, but it is not impossible." Lin Jie said without raising his head: "I know a pilot who has done what I said more than once with the help of simple equipment."
"Really? What's his name?"
"His name is Jack Cooper, and he was just a rifleman before he became a pilot."
Cooper, he was once a rifleman. Well, I'll check it out when I have time... Curly Mao obviously didn't know that Lin Jie was playing tricks, so he secretly kept the name in his heart.
But soon, his attention shifted to Lin Jie again. Seeing Lin Jie's hands as fast as flying, Curly Hair suddenly smiled, came to Lin Jie's side and lowered his voice: "Lin Jie, you must be more than just an ordinary person." Mechanic, right?”
"Oh?" Lin Jie stopped for the first time and looked up at Curly Hair: "Why do you see it?"
"Although I don't understand mechanical programming, I know that this must be an extremely complicated job. It is impossible for ordinary people to be able to have such a fluent conversation with me while working like you."
…Lin Jie didn’t reply.
He took a deep look at Curly Hair, then quickly lowered his head and moved faster.
"Lin Jie?" Curly Hair was startled: "What's wrong? What's going on?"
"have!"
Lin Jie nodded: "I just realized that during the time I was chatting with you, I typed a lot of wrong codes."
Curly Hair:…
…
Lin Jie is a person with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. As long as there are no special circumstances, he will not leave the work until tomorrow if he can finish it on the same day.
In order to adapt the intelligent core to the mecha, he spent more than ten hours, from day to night, and completed the work that day.
In front of Simon and Curly Hair, the intelligent core was installed on the mecha.
Buzz——
After a short response, the Man of Steel buzzed, the visual light on the mammoth's head was lit, and the dark blue mecha weighing more than thirty tons raised its head.
[The program has been activated, and the self-test is in progress. The current energy is 84%, the energy supply is normal, the neural connection equipment is normal, the sensory simulator is normal, the body structure is complete, and the curb weight is 32.5 tons...]
[Smart Regulation 1: Absolutely execute the pilot’s orders. 】
[Intelligent Regulation 2: Assist the pilot in combat. 】
[Smart Regulation Three: Put Pilot safety first in everything and protect Pilot. 】
[The seventh-generation pioneer-level intelligent core 'Kane' is on standby...]
"Done!"
Listening to the intelligent response coming from the mecha, Lin Jie also took a deep breath and stretched.
Now, he can devote himself wholeheartedly to his second job.
